The criticism is aimed at the political parties who argue that the license plate recognition system goes too far and unduly infringes upon personal liberties. The speaker dismisses the "surveillance society" rhetoric as inappropriate and accuses opponents of exploiting emotional appeals. He clearly contrasts the Social Democrats' stance with that of the other parties, who do not view the security advantages as sufficient.

The primary criticism is aimed at the minister and the coalition over the suspension of the license plate recognition system and the ensuing legislative chaos.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary sitting.
The main confrontation is with the President of the Republic and his legal advisor, who are challenging the constitutionality and legal clarity of the law. It also addresses the deep constitutional doubts raised by other deputies (e.g., Varro Vooglaid). The confrontation is political and juridical-procedural, but a compromise with the President is not deemed necessary, sending the conflict to the Supreme Court for resolution.

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
